Children under 3 years of age should have their teeth brushed by an adult. The use of fluoridated toothpaste in this age group is determined by the level of risk. Parents should consult a health professional to determine whether a child up to 3 years of age is at risk of developing tooth decay.
Although you don't necessarily need to brush them yet, you should start cleaning your infant's teeth as soon as he gets his first tooth (and his gums even before he gets teeth). At first, you can just use a wash cloth to clean your infant's teeth. As he gets more, you can use a soft children's toothbrush.
